Note: On the "Issues" Tab, at "Filter", select "All" and then click on "Apply" to see all the current Issues, otherwise some will remain hidden by default.

Ability to add "Docklets" from other Launchers:(Accepted)Status: http://redmine.dcmembers.com/issues/59This is self explanatory, and is being looked at carefully by Markham. This will take some time, as entire code re-writes will be needed.Option to turn off "Snap to" Dock option:(Completed: V1.5)Suggested by: BoiiwondaDate: 01/17/2010Status: http://redmine.dcmembers.com/issues/57This would be an elective option in settingsTo turn on/off the Snap to Circle Dock, when the dock re-appears after being hidden.This functionality would work when Circle Dock is Locked (Anchored) to a specific location.

Option to have Circle Dock appear at last shown location, instead of follow cursor:(Completed: V1.5)Suggested by: BoiiwondaDate: 01/17/2010Status: http://redmine.dcmembers.com/issues/57This would be an elective option in settings.This would work while Circle Dock is not Locked (Anchored) to a specified position.This would allow an equivalent to drag and drop for Circle Dock.This would in effect be like Locking CD in Place without locking, so if I Last opened Circle Dock on the left side of the screen and click the center button on the right, Circle Dock will appear in the last appeared location.

Add "Lock Location" to Circle Dock context menu:(Completed: V1.5)Suggested by: sgtevmckayDate: 01/17/2010Status: http://redmine.dcmembers.com/issues/58Add option, similar to Automatically Hide. to the right click menu.This function would be equivalent to the settings option: Lock Dock At Current Position.Located in the Right click menu (Context Menu) Immediately below Automatically Hide

Adjustable Zoom Feature for icons and text:(Suggested)Suggested by: Arekku (LifeHacker)Date: 1/21/2010Status: http://redmine.dcmembers.com/issues/66This would add an adjustable zoom option similar to that of Object Dock and Rocket dock, when icons are hovered over.

Toggle Circle Dock appearance/disappearance as a Windows Context Menu Option(Rejected)Suggested by: dkazaz Date: 1/23/2010Status: http://redmine.dcmembers.com/issues/65Add the ability to toggle Circle Dock's appearance/disappearance utilizing the Windows Desktop Context menu.Quote from suggester: "I'd love to be able to right click the desktop and have Circle Dock as an option on the context menu (ideally the first one)."

The program remembers the last file folder but always reset the icon folder to default and this is quite annoying for people like me who have a folder with all icons for different apps.

I have also thrown in a related request to be attached to this one:

I am also going to see if we can get Circle Dock to copy Icons to Circle Dock Icon Folder(s).

* This would help maintain the portability of The Icons, and Circle Dock, when the appropriate Icon is not available when Circle Dock is in use on other systems. * This would also reduce system resource use, as Circle Dock will not have to scour the system looking for Icons. * this may also increase the speed of Circle Dock. As Icons could then selectively be made part of the core folders, and Circle Dock may be able to load the Icons faster * See if this can be done with a pop-up question: "Do you want to copy this Icon to the Default Circle Dock Icon folder?" If moved, then the Icon that was coppied, is teh Icon used and not the icon from the remote file

not sure if this falls under docklets... but maybe support for animated icons? I think this might of been mentioned before, but I was wondering if it was possible. not sure what kind of file would have transparency though....

or perhaps mouseover animations...

Unfortunately this is a docklet.Created by a winmatrix member several years ago.We will have to wait for docklet compatibility for this one

Another request:Remember the last icon directory. The program remembers the last file folder but always reset the icon folder to default and this is quite annoying for people like me who have a folder with all icons for different apps.

You idea is well received I keep my primary icons in a completely different folder(s) as well

Maybe the ability to make the center button open an application or folder of the user's choice?

Unlikely I'm afraid. The Centre Button is a member of a completely different set of classes to those which Dock Items belong. For reasons which will become apparent later, the Centre Button's use and functionality will remain pretty much as it is.
